“If you're a fan of dials then this watch is a MUST buy. Every time I go to check the time my eyes are drawn to the waves of blue glimmering in the light. I find myself instantly needing to find out what it looks like in slightly less light or slightly more. Covering my had over the dial or stepping out of a shaded area staring at my wrist, I am oblivious to time and space around me, until I remember I looked down to check the time because I had somewhere to be.
The hacking/hand winding movement also keeps excellent time and the case sits perfectly on my wrist. My first islander and certainly not my last!”
“… and it won't be my last. This is a beautiful watch, very well-constructed and finished. The dial is unlike anything else I own, and looks fantastic. The bracelet is a perfect match, and was easy to size with the included screwdriver - a very nice touch!
Now I wait, patiently, for an Islander GMT to add to the collection.”
“Amazing value for money, totally worth the asking price. Nice fit and finish. The dial color is even nicer looking in person. If you are on the fence about this one, just get it. Ill be getting another islander watch soon, maybe a full-lume dial. Cheers!”
“This watch is fantastic and represents a great value in dive watches. Also the Long Island Watch team is top notch in the customer service department.”
“ISL-79 is a unique and splendid offering just the dial color and case design makes it stand out and what attracted me to purchasing this model. I wish that the hand set would have been a bit longer similar to the islander field watches. Also, I wish this model
would have been chosen to have "islander" written out. Everything else from the bracelet, dial, bezel, case, & lume is all well done no issues. Looking forward to future colors and variations of this model.”
